Patch Notes: The jungle's woods, trails and grass, solid props, and gathering nodes outlined

The Jungle of Bantha is the best logging ground in the Bay

Every map square of the jungle now stands 48 trees a day for Logging, four times the richest woods anywhere else. Every one of them can be felled: on ground that hasn't been vouched for yet, trees that would be Teak or Mahogany stand as Pine instead of standing nothing.

The jungle's trees stand further apart

The jungle's big trees now stand about 16 m apart instead of crowding in every 12 m, and its young trees and palms stand at most one to a patch of ground. That is less than half as many trees, so you can see and walk between them, while their crowns still meet overhead.

Dirt trails through the jungle

Winding dirt trails now cut through the jungle, meeting, crossing and looping, about one through every map square. The ferns and grass keep off them, and the big trees stand back from them as they do from roads.

Trees, rocks and props are solid

You no longer walk through trees, rocks, stumps, fallen logs, barrels, crates, statues and other solid props, on foot or on horseback. Walk into one and you slide around it. Grass, flowers, ferns and bushes can still be walked through. If you ever end up inside one (after a teleport, say), you can walk straight out.

Gathering nodes are outlined

Herb patches, veins, boulders, fishing schools, dungeon veins and trees now have a crisp outline in their profession's colour. It follows the outline of the node itself, including the full 3D tree, instead of the faint sparkle in front of it. The outline fades in as you approach, fades with distance and fog, and is hidden by anything standing in front of the node. A skinnable body drawn as a 3D character keeps the old glow.

Grass in the jungle

The jungle floor now carries as much grass as meadows elsewhere, growing between the same ferns and flowers. The ferns and flowers stay at the amount they were thinned to.
